Тридцать лет назад из-под пера Джудит Батлер вышла книга, перевернувшая общепринятые представления о гендере. В «Гендерном беспокойстве» – несомненно, самой известной работе Батлер – гендер предлагается понимать как перформанс. Эта книга ставит вопрос о том, как мы определяем категорию «женщина» и, следовательно, за кого предлагает бороться феминизм. Спустя тридцать лет после публикации «Гендерного беспокойства» мир изменился до неузнаваемости. В 2014 году журнал «Тайм» объявил о наступлении «Трансгендерного прорыва». Батлер, чьи интересы тоже уcпели измениться, теперь пишет на широкий круг культурно-политических тем. Но споры о биологическом эссенциализме все так же актуальны, и пример этому – не утихающие в феминистском движении конфликты вокруг трансгендерности. Как Батлер смотрит на эти дебаты сегодня? И видит ли выход из этого тупика?

In the summer of 2018 at the first Balkan Society for Theory and Practice workshop that took place in Prizren, Kosova, scholars, activists, and artists came together to engage in a very much needed debate about the past, present, and future of anti-capitalist politics, feminism, queer and trans* studies, critical race theory, postcolonial and decolonial critique in the context of the post-socialist Balkan countries and former Eastern Europe. The idea for this tri-logue came out of a late night and early morning conversations based on common concerns and collaborations that have taken various forms through years of exchange and engagement with one another. It is a discussion based on the questions posed in the open call for this special issue Breaking with Transition: Decolonial and Postcolonial Perspectives in Eastern Europe. To articulate some crucial critical points through this text, we speak about the conflicts and tensions, as well as the need to envisage important analytical turns and political tactics within our ongoing struggles against turbo-racializing capitalism.

Neda Atanasoski and Kalindi Vora: We realized that the socialist legacies of each region connected them, as well as to other global sites. Postcolonial studies offered tools for understanding Soviet imperialism, yet came from regions with very different racialized, gendered, and sexualized dynamics of power that accompanied the European colonial form of economic domination. At the same time, postsocialist studies was actively excavating and engaging the impact of socialism on cultural and political life in Eastern Europe in a way that did not seem to gain traction as a way to understand the socialist commitments of newly independent governments in the third world who were non-aligned but initiated social welfare and redistribution policies to protect newly launched national economies, policies that continue in some places until the present.
